THE ORCHID WORLD. 
Mr. Geo. E. Day, who during the last seven 
years has had the whole of this collection 
under his charge, gained his first experience 
of Orchids when at Messrs. Sander's, St. 
Albans. After five years in the employ of 
this firm he took charge of Admiral Cator's 
collection. King's Langley, at which place he 
spent seven years. Subsequently he stayed 
six years with Mr. Simonds, of Beckenham, 
where there was also a noted collection of 
Orchids. The many fine plants which have 
been exhibited at the Royal Horticultural 
Society from the F^irlawn collection give one 
a slight idea of the excellent condition which 
all the plants are in. It must also be remem- 
bered that with such close proximity to 
London a number of dense fogs have to be 
contended with, and Mr. Day is, therefore, 
the more to be congratulated.

RESTREPIAS. 
Odonloglossum Lambeauianum Harry GooJson. 
The habit of Restrepias 
strongly resembles that of 
many Pleurothallis, and under 
cultivation they may be given 
the same treatment. On the 
average the flowers are larger 
than those of Pleurothallis, 
more brightly coloured and 
produced singly on slender 
peduncles. The upper sepal 
and smaller petals are thread- 
like, slightly expanded 
basally, while the lower sepals 
are much larger and connate, 
except just at the tips. They 
frequently may be see a 
growing very well m tne 
Odontoglossum house. 
^ U 
Ansellias. The cultural 
requirements of Ansellias are 
similar to those of Cymbi- 
diums, excepting that they 
require a higher temperature, 
and prefer a compost con- 
taining more peat of good 
quality, or Osmunda fibre.
